Signup Begins at 11:00 am

Start at 12:30 pm

Every year, clubs and people from around the world gather together to help fight hunger within their communities and to have a day of fun playing disc golf no matter what the weather. We will be raising money and food for the Capital Area Food Bank at our Ice Bowl.

The rules of the Ice Bowl are simple:
1) Under no circumstances can an Ice Bowl be postponed or cancelled
2) No wimps or whiners allowed
3) There are no excuses for not attending!

The entry fee is $13 plus 3 cans of food (or $15 and no food). For that $13, you will receive either:
Ice Bowl T-Shirt
OR
Ice Bowl Disc (DX plastic) and set of Little Flyer “Nesting Minis”

(supplies of both are limited - first come first choice; we will also have long-sleeve shirts and some other, higher quality discs, but there are extra costs for them).

After that, we are playing for fun!!!

We will also have some CTP contests and maybe some other fun stuff. The whole idea is to have a great time while helping others out who really need it. If you have anything you would like to donate as CTP prizes, please let us know. Anything we receive, we will give away!

A reminder that Waterloo’s Ice Bowl is this weekend, Saturday January 31st at Zilker Park.

We've got some nice sponsorship commitments already from DiscNation, Susan Macaluso, and Randy Gerde (yes our long lost Ranch Welder who now lives in the great northwest sent down something really cool!). Thanks y'all!!!

We could really use a lot more though: discs, minis, shirts, gift cards, cool stuff, weird stuff, etc. If you can help round some stuff up, please contact Matt Burton at 507-9999 or matthewdburton @ yahoo.com

If you are coming out to play, please look around and see if you've got something we could give away. It doesn't have to be much, if everyone brings something, it will all add up to a great pile of prizes.

Also, we are hoping someone would like to do some food or snacks or hot chocolate / coffee to sell. It is a long day out there and some lunch before the round and some snacks or late lunch after the round would be really great. It can really help the fundraising; and even if it just breaks even, at least it is a great service for all the players and staff.

If anyone can do some of this, please contact Matt Burton – he’ll be coordinating it all. (see phone & email info above)

Finally, please help spread the word about Ice Bowl this weekend. We usually get a big turnout and we hope to again this year. Remember, sign up starts at 11 am, tee off is officially at 12:30 (though we usually end up going a bit later than that).

Looks like we’ll be having some bratwurst for sale before the round as an early lunch (and hopefully some afterwards too), and possibly some pizza after the round. And we’ll have some sodas and gatorades for sale too.

As always, we could use some help setting up and getting everyone checked in. Processing 120-140 people takes some good volunteer effort to get everything done as smoothly as possible. We’ll try to get to the park about 9:15 tomorrow morning so that we can unload all our stuff and be completely ready to start signing people up at 11 am.

Tomorrow is a great time to renew your club membership for 2009 (or beyond) or to join the club if you aren’t yet a member.

For current club members (those already current plus those who renew or join tomorrow) you can also renew your 2009 PDGA membership and get a $5 discount off of the pdga renewal fee. We’ll have the forms with us at the park.

If your member number is between 1 and 285, then you may be due for renewal. Just open the Member List file on the Membership Page of the website (or just click here: www.austindiscgolf.org...12-08.htm) and find your name/number. Next to your name will be “Current Through December 20xx” or a blank space. If the space is blank or if the “current through” year is 2008, then it is time for you to renew. The list is first in Member Number order; below that it is re-arranged into Member Name order (listed by last name). So if you aren’t sure of your member number, you can easily find your name in the second list.

If you have joined or renewed in the last month or so, you might not see it on the list yet. We’ll get it updated shortly after the Ice Bowl.

Our big project at Circle C is going to take a lot of money – we are getting some top-notch tee signs and protective frames, for all the tee boxes – your membership funds will go a long way towards paying for it all.

Finally, a big Waterloo Thank You to the people and businesses who have already sent Ice Bowl sponsorship or have committed to bringing stuff:

Wow, what a great Ice Bowl we had at Zilker. The weather was perfect and the turnout was HUGE!

We had 186 people; 50 more than we’ve ever had before.

We raised $750 for Capital Area Food Bank, which is the most cash we’ve ever gotten in our 9 years of Ice Bowls.

We also raised 359 pounds of food, which is the 2nd most amount of food.

(Our grand total for the 9 years is: $4,732 cash plus 2,282 pounds of food)

A BIG THANK YOU to all our great sponsors.

DISC NATION is one of the club’s biggest sponsors and always comes through for us, this time with some great gift certificates. Don’t forget that you can join the club or renew your membership through their web site. You can also buy club stamped discs from them that help us with our fundraising.

MILLENNIUM, HOUCKDESIGN AND WORLD’S BIGGEST – as Disc Golf and as Austin as it gets! John & Dee brought a bunch of pizzas and sodas that not only helped ease the hunger after the round, but helped raise some money as we were able to sell the slices for $1 or $2. And it was good tasting pizza too!

PLAY IT AGAIN SPORTS is also a regular supporter and chipped in some great gift certificates for 5-5-5.

SHIRTS420.COM donated a ton of their shirts plus donated ½ of all the proceeds from the shirts sold during the event.

RANDY GERDE sent a big box (and a really cool box at that) of smoked salmon from the Great Northwest.

DAN MUELLER donated an Innova Disc Catcher Sport basket that was won by Hugh Pickett in the raffle.

SUSAN MACALUSO sent a bunch of great tie dye!

TEAM JUSTICE brought some awesome discs and stuff from their HOTT tour.

And lots of folks brought discs, shirts, minis and other goodies to give away in 5-5-5 and the raffle, including
